I am not indifferent to this at all. I know the dangers that nuclear arms are in the hands of an aggressive nation. In my opinion, they should have never been invented in the first place. What I meant about it being bravado is that anyone knows the dangers of such weapons, and using them is considered a last resort. The point is that they have them, and they serve as a potent "muscle" to flex to the world.

I'm sorry, but I don't quite undstand what you are getting at.

well then I guess they being plain aggressive then. I am not oging to lose any sleep about it, this "I have nukes" stuff is just bravado anyways.

and what "crazies" might these be?

neanderthals had a hyoid bone as well, making humans and neanderthals the only apes known to have this structure. Thi smeans that neanderthals could vocalize, but probably not as good as humans can. out of all the theories presentes here, this one is the most sound.

okay I am gonna follow coral redd here and say I am done with this. I have stated my opinion and you two have done nothing than troll and dismiss any argument out of hand becasue I am an atheist and you think I am just trying to argue about this becasue I hate christians. I am tired of repeating myself and arguing the same points over and over again. It is obvious I am never going to even make you consider my side of the argument, much less convince you. Call me a coward, hell even declare yourselves the winners of this debate for all I care. I will say for the last time, the post 1952 pledge of allegiance that includes the word "God", denoting the Judeo-Christian concept of a diety is an endorsement of a particular religion, which in a (ideally) secular country is unconstitutional, whether it is voluntary or not. School prayer was decided to be unconstitutional, and that was voluntary. I refuse to argue with people who automatically assign some other (anti-religious) agenda to my arguments. The word "God" doesn't offend me, and shouldn't offend anyone. The fact that it is an obvious endorsement (with the lame excuse of being "voluntary") of Judeo-Christianity offends me. Sure, a kid can refuse to stand, but you are forgetting (or denying) religious teachers who would make them stand anyway and peer pressure from other students. What kid wants to feel alienated? Thats my statement for the last time. I hope Michael Newdow wins this case. Don't bother responding, becasue you won't get any response.

hmm since you are obviously bigoted on this, I don't see hopw any argument will get through to you, but here goes. Unlike Israel, America is a secular state, which means there is a seperation of church and state. I don't care if christians worship god, aslong as it is in they don't feel they have to include me in their worship in some way. Schools are places of learning, not places to favor one religion over another. You obviously don't know a whole lot about this country. Just becasue some people are in the majority, doesn't mean we should favor them. That is bigotry. Just becasue whites are the majority in the US, that deosn't mean we shouldn't allow blacks to have right, does it? Why do you hate atheists so much? Becasue we don't believe in your god? Saying atheists need to "shut up and get a life" is demeaning and insulting and will be reported to a moderator. Maybe you think being a bigot is amusing, but most people don't.

superior at the time.

what the heck is this supposed to mean?

no, she just doesn't want to endure the frustration of having to repeat herself to you, over and over again. You don't even consider any points we present. Thats her choice, stop trying to bait ther.

So? Does this invalidate any problem? Problems are still problems that should be dealt with no matter what. We can't put everything on hold just becasue we don't live in a perfect world.

how true.

thats the kind of arrogance I was talking about.

hahahahahahahhaha! *evil, maniacal, vindictive laughter* I hate Ashlee Simpson. Who ever told her she was attractive in the first place?

I'm sorry to ask so many questions, but what is the Hilary Duff sex-scandal?

ewww.

I was on a hunor site once which showed a number of pics of her. Now I am Irish, and I know Lohan is an Irish name, plus the red hair and all, she obviously has some Irish in her. I cannot tan worth crap, and I doubt she can either. At best I get lots of freckles, at worst I get seriously sunburnt. This website showed pics of how she really looks and as you said, it is gross. She has an orangy tint to her skin, which I guess he thinks is attractive. I think it is nasty. Her skin does have a dry, leathery look to it, caused from excessive tanning on a fair-skinned person like myself.

wow thanks. *blushes and bats eyes*

I can see where her career is headed.....

Wow. Considering the popularity of that video and all the bad and good attention, she must be pretty happy right now.

there are many other countries in which the government pretty much makes life miserable for it's citizens. I don't see any worldwide effort to help them. This is usually an excuse to go to war for some other economic reasons. Don't buy into the delusion that we are just tryin to liberate countries like Vietnam and Iraq.
